The stygian wormhole of existential terror and abject horror that is the Sonic fandom is the only thing redeeming everything Sonic related from 1994-2010 when Colors came out. Throwing pennies down that well gave me more enjoyment than Sonic 1, CD, and Sonic 3&K did. I actually think 2 is pretty well-designed considering.

Playing Sonic 2 with a friend is basically "poo poo i'm gonna dodge everything, just kill eggman because you can't die"

Legend of the River King 2 for GBC owned. It has elements of Harvest Moon and Pokemon with Fishing. I only played the Gameboy versions, so I don't know how the PS2 and DS versions stack up.

I think that people with autism interpret Sonic differently or something. This isn't even a joke, I think with the speed and memorisation and patterns and simple expressive animal people faces, it just appeals to the autistic brain

sonic is "cool" as like a core character trait. what is cool? how do you be cool? i dunno. but sonic is always "cool"

he has all of these friends that hang around him for no reason really. its just sonic and friends

the story is melodramatic and takes itself very seriously but lacks any clear details

Oh dip I remember this from Nintendo Power back in the day. It looked really good. Never picked it up for w/e reason though.

Apparently the Sonic comics have some epic and deadly serious continuity that spans a handful of writers over twenty years. I have never once paid attention to the details, but I know it's there.

I think you'd have to be moderate-to-low functioning to see it that way, or maybe just come from one of the hundreds of thousands of homes unequipped to raise an autistic kid.

its moreso that you have like twenty years of games that don't give a poo poo about the details but will throw in references to previous works because its not like they have to start over from scratch every time. the lack of any other grounding detail means that you can probably shoehorn them together into some sort of continuity if you are an autistic wikia fandom writer despite, uh, this:

I just got the PC-port of Sonic CD that rebuilt the engine from the ground up and locked the framerate at 60 fps and.... it's actually really good. It's not amazing or anything, it still has that problem where you can run fast or explore the level and never-ever-both, but poo poo like not being able to anticipate enemies to stop you and controlling your jumps is way way better. It's like $2 on the Steam Sale. You've spent more on fast food this week, so why the gently caress not?

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

All I know about Nier Automata is that it is a sequel to a cult jrpg whose lead character is a literal rear end in a white thong with an underage girl robot welded on.

A new one from the steam sale:

Despite hype, Shadow of Mordor sucks. So maybe the system for the rival dudes is good but I'm never going to see that because I had no idea I just bought Batman and/or Mad Max again, both of which had one cool thing with a ton of annoying minute to minute mechanics.

I'm saying that all beaters are trash and while watching the execution animations is cool, it makes not a game.


Also I have to eat some of my words about indie pixel art side scrollers AND zombie games because I picked up The Last Station and it's really cool and good.

My dream game is a design document made from a combined effort by Peter Molyneux, Richard Garriott, and Brad McQuaid. After the initial design, it is executed by Blizzard and the designers don't see any of it until it is released. Either the game will be amazing or it'll be poo poo. Either way the designers will be horribly disappointed in themselves because their ideas sucked or their ideas were good but they realize that they could never have made it happen by their own efforts.

Are you dissing a specific game here, like Nier Automata or Bioshock Infinite, or just any game that tries to be deep?

the deep philosophical issue of this game is making players think what might have been if they had gone ahead with making this a 3d platforming game starring yoshi, instead of nintendo passing on it and turning that character and franchise into dumb poo poo for babies by making yoshi's story instead
